Bo's whole "Inside" special is a work of art. He came back after a 5 year hiatus recovering from mental health issues. He was having panic attacks on stage. And just as he was preparing to come back, the pandemic started. And we got a solo production from him. Everything was done himself, in his home.

It's really a masterpiece. There's humor/comedy thrown into the special, but it really conveyed the darkness the internet/world is coming to. And how hopeless we feel to change anything, combined with the isolation of the lockdown(s) created by Covid making mental health even worse. Bo is a brilliant mind and creator, and Inside is definitely a must watch for everyone imo.

I feel like the internet is pretty much a circus, a clown fiesta, felt like a great choice for music.

This song is so brilliant, without directly saying it, he showed how dark the internet is. By offering a little bit of everything all of the time, they put the world in your hands. As soon as you touched it the contract was signed, and Bo pulls the veil in his laughter revealing the price of a little bit of everything is your soul. Such an insane metaphor.

Oh buddy, if you’re gonna go down the Bo hole let me tell you… You have a LOT to learn. This man is absolutely nuts, especially his older stuff.

agree that you gotta look up more but i cannot agree about old stuff. i think bo has only been getting better and better throught the years. inside is a fucking masterpiece.

You have to respect that bo might not be the funniest comic, or the best singer but he found a way to be unique and still be heard and loved. Nobody has done satire quite like him and it’s insanely creative

“The internet is the devil” he says on KZread. Hahaha keep up the good work, Stevie.

You can see the song seeping into his mind on his face. Especially with when It goes in on how kids are being manipulated.

"...............He's cold bruh" 😂

Bruh the way he wants you to feel with the rhythm and then the message behind. He not jabbing, hes throwing hooks! Bop bop!

got chills watching this again but through your perspective. he really does say it all for you in this one. kind of hard to interpret what’s so clearly portrayed. found him through this special, been watching you for awhile, so it’s cool as always to hear your thoughts and see your reactions. appreciate you bro

That Funny Feeling will rock your world, bro.

Inside will go down as one of the most important pieces of art of this decade. Bo is a genius.

YES!!! I’ve been waiting for the video!!! Bo is a genius!

I can not wait for “words words words” That might be an hour long break down

This is the first video I've seen of you and I'll see more because you're contemplative, and I really appreciate that. You listened to the lyrics and the music and made a comment when it was necessary. By the way, it's circus music because that's what the internet is. *The Bo is in the details*

It’s kinda tough, because I love that special but each song fills me with more existential dread than the last.

Bo is a genius , really enjoyed the reaction , probably one of the most accurate depictions of the Internet , complete with that Devil's laugh that we were all hooked

Bo's through warning us. He's straight up saying what happened now that his warnings have been largely ignored. the line of ''mommy let you use your ipad, you were barely two'' hits so hard. ADHD is being created in kids because of the constant engagement for endorphine release. amazing artist, musician and comedian.

I love how open you are to everything man! I think we are very far apart in terms of interests and character too, yet your openness puts us on common ground always. Goes to show all of us people are not that different at all from each other. Would love to hear more of your thoughts after the reaction too, you got some really fresh takes on things!

Don Corneo once said "In what situation do villains choose to reveal all their plans to the heroes?" "When they think they've already won."

I didn’t know if I should laugh or cry the first time I heard this

Besides the topic he's talking about, Bo really knows how to create a certain vibe.

Bang on reaction. There’s a litany of deeper meanings in this song but you summed it up perfectly. The internet is fucking us all up, and Bo’s cold. Dudes in a class of his own and is probably one of the best if not the best existential absurdist out there. You said you got a laundry list of Bo songs but I gotta recommend: How the world works Art is dead From gods perspective All eyes on me Keep ‘em comin!

@@a-don13 I assume (hard assumption haha) that he was more focused on not missing anything. he seemed to be pretty much locked into it from the first line. I’m the kind of person that won’t budge a muscle once I’m super into something, and that’s kind of the vibes I got from him. Also, there’s just…so many god damn layers to it. I could see how hard it would be to even know where to start lol. That’s what makes Bo such a master at existentialism. No one would believe that a “comedy” song about the internet could end up hitting like some Lovecraftian horror…yet here we are 🤷‍♂️

Gives me chills every time

"Apathy's a tragedy, boredom is a crime." So key. We all hate now a single second of silence but that's where our brain rests, recharges and we can have deeper thoughts. So many artists and thinkers talk about how great silent walks are because if you're constantly being stimulated, especially by nonsense, your brain is just running on empty. So in our society where we're never bored, we never can think about deep things, or really consider our lives, etc.

As someone who has this problem exaserbated by ADHD, this is exactly it. When your senses are filled with inputs, and your brain is filled with stuff, there's no room left for thought, consideration, or to an extent, memory, because everything in your completely full up mind is constantly the same, a white wall of noise.

The circus music plays to how the internet is a sh*t show or circus. Nothing but sensory overload.

Damn my boy Stevie expanding his horizons with this reaction

Damn the internet is gojo limitless void

I just love that you are checking out Bo. Have loved him forever- and I’ve watched your channel for years- thank you thank you! What a treat.

Stevie, I'm prolly not your usual watcher, but I value every one of your reactions and opinions dude. You're a breath of fresh air in a stagnant internet. Appreciate you man, keep it up.

I don't think the internet is the devil's work, here I am, able to watch your reaction to an amazing artist, and know that I'm not the only one who is impacted by it. Communities that I'd otherwise never be aware of, let alone a part of. It's amazing. But that power can go in as many different directions as we let it, and I think that's a good thing all things considered.

Down, satan!

I will ALWAYS be quick with watching Bo or Pentatonix reactions!

The circus chorus is brilliant. * "The Greatest Show On Earth" * Several "acts" performing any given time. * The freak show * The circus animals living in conditions they were never meant for that slowly make them go crazy.

It's a carnival sounding beat because he's saying the internet is like a creepy carnival. He's the carnival barker.

"and it did all the things we designed it to do"

A carnival is the perfect analogy for the internet. There's a lot of entertaining, harmless stuff...but also a dark underside.

Yes! This was a request of mine.

Internet is the Wild West and everyone’s invited.

If the devil were ever a person it would be Bo's character in this video

If you wanna hear the most creative bars you've ever heard, listen to words, words, words. Almost every line is a double or a triple.

ray bradbury's "something wicked this way comes" be careful what you wish for etc.

The internet is a tool, and how tools are used are determined by its wielder. And the Internet puts humanity’s glory and horror on full ducking display.

He gets you thinking, fucking dope!

The evil circus music is the point

I'm not cheerleading for the internet, or disagree with the meaning of Bo's song, it's totally on point, and masterfully conveyed. I fully comprehend the toxic, vile nature that the internet can bring out in people/society, like anything else in life though, there's a ying and a yang. Without the internet, a surgeon I worked for couldn't have assisted less trained surgeons with life saving surgery from St. Louis Children's hospital on a 2y/o child on another continent. While physical contact will never be replaced, how many people, due to immune, quarantine, or travel issues, found a little comfort saying goodbye to a loved one dying of covid, face to face on skype or zoom. Evil will always stomp it's feet and make the most noise to draw our attention, try not to feed it, look for the good in life and you will find it. ✌️❤️

hes not saying the internet is bad hes just giving a sales pitch about the internet and what it has to offer in a way where he ramps it up from finding information to building a boom Edit: he puts it in a way where you can decide you're opinion on the internet and it is just a perception of all the experiences you can make and have made.

@@ecomog4735....I'm not sure if you're referring to Stave or Bo, though I'm leaning towards Bo, and I agree with your well stated comment, regardless, I never meant to imply either one of them stated the internet was bad. It wasn't lost on me that Bo was simply giving the listener a different lens to view the internet, to convey it's possible culpability at making human to human interaction less needed, possibly lowering the advantages of living in a society that fosters understanding and empathy through face to face interactions. I just thought Steve was focusing on all the negatives of the internet a tad to much in his post reaction breakdown, which is fine, not criticizing him for that, I just wanted to play devils advocate to what Stevie mentioned.

He said it all... All within what's "allowed" to be said, especially on KZread. And dodging all the words that could take down a channel, but highlight on all the wrong on the internet..

I for one love the circus music! It fits so perfectly with what Bo is explaining.

Goddamn this song hits so fucking hard. Scares the shit out of me

I love how uour appreciation of Bo has grown.

Love that you've gotten into Bo. You would probably love "How the World Works."

Fitting that That Funny Feeling is the next suggested one at the end there. It’s a less popular song on that special but it lowkey has bars in it

Oh my god this is the kind of reaction I've been looking for with this song. Similar kind of reaction to the one I first had watching it, especially when he starts laughing. That "Oh..oh no.." moment. Everyone else pauses at that moment and completely ruins the impact of that exact moment to say some kind of stupid shit and I'm like "You just missed it. The most terrifying and impactful commentary about the internet and you missed it to say something stupid."

Really enjoy your reactions to non hip hop stuff man. This Special is really good all the way through if you're looking for more Bo to check out

HELL YEAH

Bo Burnham "How The World Works" is INTENSE AF

the circus music is in fact important

"all eyes on me"/ check this one/ thanks for the video

Watching the desensitization escalate of your reaction was interesting. Good video and I agree that the internet f'ed some stuff up.

Where is "all eyes on me" or " 5 years" by Bo

Not so much a circus as it is a carnival barker… a snake oil salesman. Draws you in with all the wonderful bright and shiny things, soon tosses a dark thing or two in between, speeds up and gets increasingly more chaotic but by then you’re already drawn in. Then he slows down and pulls you in with more personable bright and shiny things, then once he has you, you’re done!

The internet is neither good nor bad...the internet is a reflection of human society, needs and desires...we all created it together...The song is a masterpiece...

His socks puppet verse from this special was brutally fantastic.edit. the music is to represent the snack oil salesman circus feel. Perfection

That last song he did on are you happy or whatever about pringles and the burrito being overstuffed man I was a Burnham fan. He is low key genius af

Loving these reactions, Bud! Words, Words, Words has got to be high up on your list next. In my mind it is his best song, and lyrically it's a masterpiece piece which I DO NOT say often

The circus music may not sound good, but it's an amazing choice for the message here. I have so much respect for how much respect you give Bo. He deserves it, and I appreciate you recognizing it

The 'carnival music' is intentional. He's playing the role of the guy that's trying to sell you snake oil and con you into buying some useless shit. "Hey innocent bystander can I interest you in the internet..?"

2:50 no truer words have ever been spoken. It’s the beginning of the end for real.

THE WORLD IS A CIRCUS JOKE. THATS THE BIT. ITS THE SAD TROOF

All eyes on me!!!

I watched you "get it". Me too. I had that moment the first time I heard this. Good night, bro.

The internet exposes who we are, it didn't change us.

This song is a masterpiece. Almost everything he does is amazing in its own way.

I'm glad you didn't pause too much and just enjoyed the song:D What you said about being it some Kanye shit, Bo ended one of his specials (Make Happy) with "can't handle this". It is a Kanye rant with a twist, really worth the watch:)

more bo burnham please

true dat

Hell yeah this is one of his greatest

The circus music is the point. The internets a circus

Bruh...the circus music is apropos to the theme...the internet being an amusement park o sumh...Man Knight always wants a cold hip-hop beat to everything...Sheeeesh,I'd like to see you compose a nursery rhyme and see what kinda music you pick.

I appreciate your raw reactions. You feel it. Thank you

Bo Burnham is the Millennial Frank Zappa.

I always need a shower after this song, it grotesque, raw, genius and necessary . Bless Bo for using his talentt to remind ourselves to unplug.

Need more Bo vids! Love it bro

It's brilliant it sounds like the circus because the internet is the ultimate shit show circus

MORE BO!

I can't wait for your reaction to "How the World Works".

This song is unique

I highly highly recommend both the Netflix special that this video is from, “Inside”. Also the film he wrote and directed, “Eight Grade”. Bo is extremely talented and his mind is brilliant

He did the whole special by himself. Recording, editing, and all.

Yessss, another Bo! I've been waiting patiently 😁 Great reaction.

His voice is special

"the internet is the devil" so well put

With everthing all of the time, i take that as the internet will show you what you want. Right or wrong, good or bad... Its a tool to be used properly, and carefully. Because what you put in, is what you get out.
